I've been reading a bit about bone broth helping with inflammation. Also, there are many types of collagen powders and also plain gelatins like Knox unflavored, which have helped some with pain and inflammation.

I've been diagnosed with fibro and also saw a neurologist some years ago who did very involved testing and tells me I have a nonspecific neuro problem besides the fibro. I had bad flare-ups last Spring and Summer and saw a new neurologist (first one was wonderful but had since retired), as well as a really good rheumatologist. They agree with the first neurologist that whatever else I have likely came from a near-fatal illness I had as an infant--maybe from being packed in ice for the high fever, the numerous meds, the high fever itself, or ?? .

Just wondering if anyone here has tried any of the above-mentioned for pain and/or inflammation? Do any really work? I would think both the bone broth and gelatin would be more natural than the collagen powders, but then again this is all new to me! I love soups, so maybe bone broth might be worth trying?

Thanks for any help. smile

I don’t know anything about these things but have you tried googling foods that cause inflammation? There are lists of them and also lists of foods that don’t cause inflammation. I try to keep my PH balanced so I do eat more foods that are alkaline than acidic.

Hmm....that's an interesting thought, Sherrine. I know sugar is bad for inflammation, but it's good to go beyond that to alkaline versus acidic foods. I read a bit about them a long while ago, but it would be good to take another look.

Thanks for the tip!

Here is a good link for you. It’s from Harvard Health. There are a lot of them out there.

Sherrine: I'll check out that link. I remember reading about something similar a while back, and it's a great thing to review.

GreenBeans: Thanks for that suggestion! I've never heard of that brand. Will check that out, also.
